Ms. Alt's first installment in this series was a light, fun, and easy read. The book was filled with quirky humor and plot twists that made it very enjoyable.

Maggie hated her job as a collection agent. Her boss being a sexist jerk didn't help her plight any either. When her car, whom was aptly nicknamed "Christine", acted up on a cold and rainy morning leaving her late for work again and having to take refuge in a store's alcove, Enchantments, it turned out to be the answer to her prayers.

The store's proprietor, Felicity Dow, immediately liked Maggie the moment she fell into her store front's door. Felicity offered her a position as a clerk in her shop filled with antiques and peculiarities. After Felicity letting her in on her taste in spiritual beliefs, Witchcraft, Maggie said she would have to think about it. Being fired just an hour later for being late again, it seemed like a good option and she took the job.

Her first day there was an interesting one to say the least. Her boss, whom she was quickly finding a fondness for, is soon suspected for the murder of her own socialite sister, Isabella. A few members of the Stony Mill police force knowing Felicity for being a witch didn't help her case of innocence either in their eyes.

Maggie and Felicity's coven member, ridiculously attractive Marcus Quinn, set out to do some fact finding of their own to prove Felicity's innocence.

Did I mention Marcus is ridiculously hot?

This book is filled with humor, romantic frustrations, and a glimpse into modern day witchcraft. Also, at 261 pages it's a book that can be easily plowed through in a few hours and you will not be disappointed.
